WASHINGTON (AP) - Attorney General Eric Holder described the United States Wednesday as a nation of cowards on matters of race, saying most Americans avoid discussing unresolved racial issues.

In a speech to Justice Department employees marking Black History Month, Holder said the workplace is largely integrated but Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives.

"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards," said Holder, nation's first black attorney general.

Race issues continue to be a topic of political discussion, Holder said, but "we, as average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race."

WHAT?? This coming from the Nation's First Black President and Attorney General? I am confused. Why MUST we talk about this EVERY DAY?

EVERY DAY we must highlight our differences instead of working together?

In a time of great audience and great opportunity to talk about incredible advancements and barriers removed... instead he puts another log on the fire for the race haters... essentially rejecting his chance to unite due to his own personal blinding anger.

Such a shame.

I'm not a coward, I'll talk about race.

(But watch as I get accused of being a racist by people from the left coast)

Why is it in Louisville's West End (predominantly and heavily African American) there are a disporportionate number of liquor stores and fried chicken places (sometimes a fried chicken restaurant on every other corner)?

Why is it that if the West End is taken out of the statistics, Louisvilles murder rate drops by 70%??

Why is black on black murder (that 70%) LESS important than the rare crime of racially motivated murder?

Would a white kid that killed his own brother over a video game get three or four MORE chances to stay out of jail? (As happened recently here. Even after multiple chances the brother killer ended up in jail)

Why are Bluegrass concert goers 99.9% caucasion?

Why is it that a guy in Chicago who gives a black girl a compliment is considered racially progressive and sensitive.....
....but a Kentucky good ol boy who has to morally ignore heavy flirting (with the only intent being recreational sex) considered "racially insensitive"?

Yep, we are a nation of cowards...of all colors, and not only about racial issues, either. Whites aren't the only ones who self segregate, and it is considered declasse' to speak of religion in any terms except of the similarities between them. When Jesus says I am the Way, the Truth and the Light and no man comes unto the Father but by ME, it's not a real inclusive invite for the Islamic, Hindu, and Buddhist groups to sit down and talk about how there are many roads up the same mountain...

Jesus said that He came not to bring peace but a sword, andthat a man's enemies would be even the members of his own household. THAT's a promise you don't hear Christians claiming, or ecumenists quoting. It gets lost in the rush to gather all men (oh, and WOMEN, let's not forget their poor, repressed selves!) together so we can all sing "Blowin' In The Wind" or "We Shall Overcome".

Of course, when they finally succeed in getting us all to meet in one spot to sing the songs and hug the hugs, we'll make a great target for the radical Islamists to drop nuclear bombs and mutated viruses on. But we'll go out singin' & huggin'...and coughin'...and vomitin'...and screamin' in horror and pain...all of the same mind and together at last!
